WTF did I just read 😂

Win11 is your host OS as you say. Recommend OS for what? You… Mean macOS?

found the Nintendo 'saka ninja

I wish they hadn’t done away with the titan naming. the second the 90 skew was released the titan died, and I feel painting it as just another tier higher of a consumer grade card is disingenuous.

port fwd support was unfortunately removed due to abuse

Drybones for kart and Bowser for smash

yea, I’m that guy nobody likes to play with ;(

Not just an app, but honestly I get all of this and more out of my nextcloud instance. There are mindmap plugins you can download as well as good task support that’s well integrated with however many separate Calender’s you want, etc. Its great!

The only downside is that on the mobile side of things you end up with a whole bunch of apps to sync and interface with the instance (nextcloud, etar, tasks.org, nextcloud notes etc)

Damn. I hope they just keep chugging along despite this, the game has improved massively since early access and it’s very good.

Thats interesting! Glad I took the time then

It’s N-protect game guard. But if you say that in a headline, normies don’t know wtf you’re talking about.

I have a 2DS but have never touched any of the spotpass functionality. Should I still do this? Is there anything at all worth uploading?

I’ll do it if its worth it to do even though ive never used it.

“bad pokerus” gave me a good chuckle.

Honestly IMO if you have even an inkling that you’ve been got by a virus, nuking from orbit is the only solution.

Grapehene has historically offered extended support, but for the longest support time the pixel 8 isnt a bad option. The 7a is also I think the king of budget phones right now but the 8 is on sale for a few hundred off the last I checked :)

You are the one who brought up the question of even needing the CPU at all. Also, It wasn’t meant to be an attack. Just an explanation as to why you’d still need a CPU.

why would you run x86

All I meant was a large portion of software and compatibility tools still use it, and our modern desktop CPU architectures are still inspired from it. Things like CUDA are vastly different was my point

But if what you meant by your original comment was to not do away with the CPU, then yes! By all means, plenty of software is now migrating to taking advantage of the GPU as much as possible. I was only addressing you asking “at some point do we even need the CPU?” - the answer is yes :)

GPU’s as the ONLY compute source in a computer cannot and will not function, mainly due to how pipelining works on existing architectures (and other instructions)

You’re right, in that GPU’s are excellent at parallelization. Unfortunately when you pipeline several instructions to be run in parallel, you actually increase each individual instruction’s execution time. (Decreasing the OVERALL execution time though).

GPU’s are stupid good at creating triangles effectively, and pinning them to a matrix that they can then do “transformations” or other altering actions to. A GPU would struggle HARD if it had to handle system calls and “time splitting” similar to how an OS handles operating system background tasks.

This isnt even MENTIONING the instruction set changes that would be needed for x86 for example to run on a GPU alone.

TLDR: CPU’s are here to stay for a really really long time.

I disagree that you are inherently in a worse position simply because you dont know enough to take a peek at the code or harden things. I think that again, simply being such a massive project linux gives a trickle down effect to normal users. Even as a normie, you are safer on linux than on windows, full stop. As for github scripts, thats an entirely different subject because yes, open source CAN be dangerous still (just like proprietary can).

You are correct for open source projects with only a few maintainers… But with a project as big as linux, there are SO many people with that “formal education” (which doesnt really even need to be formal) that the amount of eyes on the codebase DOES benefit the normies who dont look at it.

I love my security resting in the hands of a multibillion dollar corp, so that way when they get hacked I get lumped in! So secure!

My biggest issue with windows is it not telling you the exact reason for some weird behavior, and then making it intentionally difficult to go in and modify/fix it yourself.

Linux might break more often, but when it does I’ve ALWAYS been able to recover or restore it far far easier than I ever could on a windows machine, partially due to the actually helpful error messages.
